Results for tag: "Below Grade Waterproofing Membranes"

Below grade waterproofing membranes are used in the construction industry to prevent water penetration into underground structures such as basements, foundations, and parking structures. These materials form a critical component of building materials for structures that are partially or wholly below ground level. Waterproofing membranes protect against water ingress from the surrounding soil which can cause structural damage, mold growth, and deterioration of building materials. Various types of below grade waterproofing membranes are available, including sheet-based membranes, liquid-applied coatings, and bentonite clay-based products, each suited for different conditions and applications. These membranes must adhere to strict performance standards to ensure durability, longevity, and compatibility with other building materials. The construction sector's advancements and the increasing preference for sustainable and safe building practices have driven advancements in waterproofing membrane technology, leading to the development of eco-friendly and high-performance products. Notable companies operating in the below-grade waterproof membrane market include Sika AG, which offers a wide range of waterproofing solutions; Carlisle Companies Incorporated, known for their construction materials; Tremco Incorporated that provides roofing and waterproofing systems; and BASF SE, which develops chemical products for construction, among others. These companies are prominent due to their product range, innovation, and reputation within the building materials sector. Show Less Read more
